This is one of my pet peeves actually, I *hate* that when you click on the toolbar it gets the keyboard focus. You never want that; it's annoying e.g. if you want to cut / paste some text, and you have to use the mouse to bring the focus back where you want it. So I think in some cases it's ok for widgets to not get the focus when you click on them. > Perhaps the widget should just pass any keypress except left arrow, > right arrow or Space through to its parent?

Hmm maybe this would be a better fix, but I am not sure. The user still expects the vertical cursor keys to move the focus around... -- Ettore Perazzoli <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ evolution-hackers maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
